They look great, Jim. I have some converted railroad lamps in my |
|
layout room and in my upstairs office. |

I have a couple of RR lamps that I've occasionally thought of |
|
doing such a conversion with, but I keep thinking that they |
|
could be very useful as kerosene lamps in extended power |
|
outages, which we seem to be having with ever increasing |
|
frequency anymore, and we do have a quantity of kerosene on hand |
|
as that is our backup heating source, so have a 275 gallon tank |
|
out in the yard. |
|
In any case, those lamps you have modified are just brilliant |
|
Jim ..... perfect for the incredible "depth" of your Man Cave |
|
..... er, I mean Steam Room!!! |

Jim the Hurricane Lamps look great in the room. Here is a photo |
|
of my grandfather's old blow touch. |
